Many voters who lent their support to the Conservatives for the first time in 2019 have been hit hard by the cost-of-living crisis and are losing faith in the Government. Unveiling new public attitudes research, this panel explores voters’ priorities for the economy, their expectations from Government, and what the Conservatives need to do to hold on to their vote at the next election.

Panel included:
